£15.00

Aitolians were known as being more warlike than Greeks in general. Unlike most Greek armies Aitolian armies contained a high proportion of light infantry fighting with javelins, making them very effective in hilly or broken country. The country was poor and people lived in villages, not cities like in neighbouring states, and Aitolia was well known as a provider of mercenaries.
